Rid Yourself of Your Unwanted, Outgrown, Stained or Ripped Clothing!
25 BILLION LBS of textiles are trashed each year! Help our planet & the APTO by pitching your unwanted/unused/ outgrown/ orphaned or outdated purchases into the PICTURED bin outside the band room in the ROTUNDA!
We encourage all faculty/staff, caregivers, parents and students to participate in this very satisfying fundraising opportunity, which is available to you (your extended family, friends, and neighbors) every day throughout the year.
Just bag up your clean textiles in any condition (except wet or moldy. Stained or ripped are fine to bin) and toss them in the bin located outside the band rooms in the rotunda.

Much thanks to Laura Ziton for supplying some of the links. School nurse, Ms. Caron, shared a great article about the positive impact social distancing can have on the spread of a virus and here is one more on the importance of establishing a routine when your regular one has been disrupted.
